A Hero from Saint-Malo: Nicolas Beaugeard Count of Bellevue A Hero from Saint-Malo: Nicolas Beaugeard An Episode of the French Revolution By The Comte de Bellevue Rennes, France 1904 Translated by Gena R. Chattin (GRC – her footnotes marked with these initials) Edited by Llewellyn M. Toulmin, Ph.D., FRGS, FRSA of Silver Spring, Maryland (LMT) fifth great-grand nephew of Nicolas Beaugeard) FR. SIMON, RENNES 1 2 [PORTRAIT: In existence at the Chateau of Lemo] AN LITTLE-KNOWN HERO FROM SAINT-MALO NICOLAS-JOSEPH BEAUGEARD Secretary of the Orders to Queen Marie-Antoinette and to Madame the Duchess of Angouême, Captain of the Royal Army of Brittany 1755 to 1817 [birth and death dates] 3 Count of Bellvue A Hero from Saint-Malo It was the morning of January 21, 1793. Louis XVI had been condemned to death. Already they were leading toward the guillotine the descendant of nearly forty kings who, for fourteen centuries were succeeded on the French throne and had made that nation so powerful, so glorious, and so prosperous. Would the French indifferently witness that assassination and allow the best of men and the most paternal of kings to be bled white? Several loyal royalists resolved an attempt to prevent this crime and to tear the innocent victim away from his executioners. It was a gentleman, originating from Gascogne and then aged 33 years, the famous baron of Batz, who installed himself at the head of the movement. Along with his secretary, Jean-Louis Michel Devaux, the marquis of La Guiche, called “Sévignon”, Hyde de Neuville, the count of Allonville, and MM. De la Lézardière and Beaugeard, he orchestrated a plot with the intent to rescue the martyred king at gunpoint while he was being taken from the prison of the Temple to the scaffold. “The attack on the escort had to take place on the boulevard Bonne-Nouvelle, at the corner of the Rue de la Lune, and at the top of the Porte Saint-Denis; the number of streets opening into that area allowed the assailants to gather without being overly noticeable. “Four or five hundred intrepid royalists joyfully promised their help, but the extraordinary security and police measures taken by the Convention for the execution of the king were followed with such precision that only a few of the conspirators were able to meet at the point of the rendezvous. “In fact, from the crack of dawn on Monday, January 21, 1793, Paris was in a state of siege: all the streets meeting those that the ghastly procession would take were blocked and guarded militarily. All citizens were forbidden to appear in doors or windows or to be on the path of the condemned. All cries and demonstrations were forbidden under penalty of death. From the Temple to the boulevard, the street was adorned with more than ten thousand armed men, and each side of the boulevard was lined by a quadruple row of eighty thousand soldiers. Some canons were marched in front of the procession, which was made up of between twelve and fifteen thousand armed men. In front of the cart, where the king was chained, the clamor of a multitude of drums and trumpets rang out. Behind the car, surrounded by gendarmes on foot and on horseback, came yet more cannons. “At the moment when the cart arrived at the top of the port Saint-Denis, three young men and an older man with a sword in hand, opened a passage through the quadruple row of soldiers along the street and bolted toward the royal victim, crying loudly over and over, ‘To us who would save the king!’ 4 “Profiting from the stupor and the momentary disarray caused by their audacious attempt, the four heroes managed to slip into the crowd and get away by the neighboring streets. Only one of them was seized when he entered a house on the Rue de Cléry and sliced by swords on the steps of the church Notre Dame-de-Bonne-Nouvelle. The three others escaped successfully1.” Only two of the names of these four valiant royalists were preserved by history: those of the Baron of Batz and of Michel Devaux2; and we just claimed the honor for M. Beaugeard of having been the one who was “sliced by swords on the steps of the church of Notre Dame de Bonne-Nouvelle.” The glorious part M. Beaugeard took in that heroic attempt had not been revealed by any historian until recent times3: but this M. Beaugeard was Breton, Breton from Saint-Malo, and we have the duty to render all due honor to this valiant compatriot and to add a new halo to those of his family, of his native town, and of our Brittany. We are going to give all the details that we were able to gather on the family and life of this Breton hero, up until now too poorly known. The Beaugeard family was native to Saint-Malo, where it can be found as far back as the 15th century, and where it produced a great number of merchants and shipowners. It was linked to the Le Bretons toward 1540; Jalobert in 1563 and 1568; Girard in 1572; Maingard in 1576; Béchard toward 1595; Porée in 1600; Rouxel toward 1720; Fournier de Varennes toward 1740; Morin toward 1744; Avice in 1750; le Det de Segray [sic] in 1767; le Douarain de Lemo in 1771; le Provost de la Voltais in 1773; d’Hugues de Cessellès in 1780. It was ennobled in 1777 and received for arms: “red with a silver chevron, accompanied by twelve Ermine-spots in golden counter-ermine [NOTE: Explanation of ermine patterns can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ermine_%28heraldry%29 - GRC] arranged in groups of four in the form of three crosses.” We also find that, since the 17th century, in the lands of Vitré and of Fougères, the Beaugeards, who belonged, we believe, to another family, and had the arms “gold with a sand-colored prancing stag” [NOTE – not positive on sand-colored, would have to see the coat of arms to be sure]. 1 See: Dernières heures de Louis XVI, roi de France, written by the abbey Edgeworth de Fermont, his confessor, the day of the execution of the king, and published after Journal de Cléry, p. 123. – Les Défenseurs de Louis XVI, by Ed. Biré, p. 173 and following – Le baron de Batz, by G. le Notre, p. 6 and following; p. 279 and following; from which we have extracted in part the preceding lines – Les Archives nationals, w. 389, dossier 904. 2 Devaux was arrested June 2, 1794, and guillotined at Paris the following June 17. As for the Baron de Batz, we know his fate, so extraordinary that it was nearly romantic: Knight of Saint Louis in 1814, field marshal in 1815, he died in Le Puy-de-Dôme in 1822. 3 The first, M. Ed. Prampain, indicated M. Beaugeard’s act of devotion in his Saint-Malo historique published at Amiens in 1902 (p. 251). Since, the attention of the Malouins was attracted to the face of their heroic compatriot. In the meeting of September 26, 1903, M. E. Herpin, president of the historical and archaeological society of Saint-Malo, contributed some information on M. Beaugeard, who he rightly called “an unknown Malouin,” and that information brought about a letter from M. Fichet, in which that great-newphew of M. Beaugeard rectified certain information given by M. Herpin. That letter appeared in Le Salut of November 10, 1903, at the same time as a response from the distinguished president of the archaeological society of Saint-Malo, which recognized the validity of M. Fichet’s observations – A five- page article, signed by M. E. Herpin and concerning Beaugeard’s heroic act, also appeared in the November 1903 L’Hermine. 5 Nicolas-Joseph BEAUGEARD was born in Saint-Malo and was baptized in that town on April 18, 1755. He was the only son of Pierre-Marin Beaugeard, rich shipowner of Saint-Malo, secretary counsel of the king, elected Treasurer of the States of Britany in 1776 (and was the last), ennobled and named knight of the order of Saint-Michel, on the request of the States in November 1777, died in 1792 at the home of his daughter, Mme. le Provost de la Voltais, at the chateau de la Voltais in Monteneuf, and of Marguerite- Joséphine Avice, deceased at Saint-Malo on February 1, 1784. Nicolas-Joseph Beaugeard had as sisters Mme le Det de Segray [sic], le Dourain de Lemo, and le Provost de la Voltais1. In accordance with his father’s wishes, in 1780 he bought a post as secretary of the orders of the queen Marie-Antoinette in return for 200,000 francs, and he married Marie-Jeanne-Catherine d’Hugues de Cesselès at Paris in July 1780. She was the daughter of Jean-Antoine-Guillaume d’Hugues, who owned an important sugar refinery called Cesselès on the isle of Saint-Domingue in the parish of la Croix des Bouquets, jurisdiction of Port-au-Prince. She had as a sister Mme de Luppé. The d’Hugues family, native to Provence, had for arms: “Azure with a golden lion [NOTE: uncertain how to translate part of this, the language is strange and may be proprietary to heraldry, I am not sure - GRC] below three golden stars […??? – GRC]1.” Mme Beaugeard née d’Hugues was pretty and coquettish. She dilapidated her fortune and that of her husband, to who she only gave a daughter, Aglae-Marie Beaugeard, born in Paris in 1782, died unmarried at the chateau of La Voltais in September 1818.

BRITTANY’S CELTIC PAST Russian pilgrims following the Tro Breizh route speak with Fr. Maxime Le Diraison, Breton historian and pastor of the Church of St. Anna in Lannion, Brittany. RTE: Father Maxime, can you orient us to Brittany? FR. MAXIME: Yes. Today we commonly use the term Great Britain, but not many people realize that its counterpart across the Channel, Little Britain or Brittany, was more culturally tied to Cornwall, Wales, and Ireland than to Gaul (France). Christianity came here very early. In Little Brittany, also called Amorica, the very first missionaries were two 3rd-century martyrs, Rogasian and Donasian. Igor: Didn’t Christianity take root earlier in France? FR. MAXIME: Yes, it did. When the Church was first established in France, there was no France as we know it now; it was called Gallia (Gaul). Brittany, where I am from, and which is now a part of northern France, was then another region, a Celtic culture. But in the Roman, Latin region of Gaul there were great early saints – not apostles, but certainly disciples of the apostles, the second and third generation.

  • Corsaires Vs Pirates Ou La Formation D'un Partenariat Public-Privé Pour L'établissement D'un Dispositif Permanent Face
    Corsaires vs pirates ou la formation d’un partenariat public-privé pour l’établissement d’un dispositif permanent face à la menace pirate VALENTIN LARA* RÉSUMÉ De toutes les menaces pesant sur la sûreté maritime, la piraterie est certainement celle qui a le plus fait parler d’elle ces dernières années. À la suite d’une série d’at- taques inouïes de par leur niveau de violence, la communauté internationale dépêcha en 2008 une flotte militaire au large des côtes somaliennes afin d’y restaurer l’ordre et la sécurité. Toutefois, face aux coûts importants engendrés par un tel dis- positif, une certaine doctrine n’a pas hésité à soutenir un recours accru au secteur privé dans le cadre de la lutte contre la piraterie. Pour ce faire, la question de la résurgence des lettres de marque, qui permettaient autrefois la guerre de course, fut notamment abordée. Cette tentative d’employer le système corsaire d’antan dans le contexte des enjeux maritimes du XXIe siècle n’est pas sans poser des questions sur la compatibilité d’un tel dispositif avec le droit international moderne. Bien loin d’écarter la pertinence d’un recours accru au secteur privé, l’auteur met toutefois l’accent sur la nécessité d’établir un système durable au sein duquel les entreprises pourront participer aux interventions navales présentes et futures. Après avoir établi les conditions d’usage des lettres de marque par les États, l’auteur suggère fortement la formation d’un partenariat entre le secteur public et le secteur privé, dont les modalités devront écarter tous risques inhérents au recours à des sociétés militaires privées.

    LA TRAITE DES ESCLAVES La traite illégale des esclaves à Bourbon au XIXe siècle AUTEUR Hubert GERBEAU Historien http://www.portail-esclavage-reunion.fr/documentaires/la-traite-des-esclaves/la- traite-illegale/ 1 La traite illégale des esclaves à Bourbon au XIXe siècle Hubert Gerbeau, romancier, essayiste, historien, ancien vice-président du Centre universitaire de la Réunion puis enseignant-chercheur à l'Institut d'Etudes Politiques et à l'Université d'Aix-Marseille, où il dirige le CERSOI (Centre d'Etudes et de Recherches sur les Sociétés de l'Océan Indien) Fernand Braudel a écrit “La seule chose qui me passionne dans notre métier, c'est ce qu'il explique de la vie des hommes en train de se tisser sous nos yeux”1. Il ajoute un peu plus tard : “Le passé n'a de sens que par rapport aux questions que nous posons maintenant. Et les seuls événements importants sont ceux qui ont eu des enfants et qui agissent encore, directement ou non, dans la vie d'aujourd'hui”. Comme Claude Wanquet l'a montré dans sa thèse, l'esclavage est très présent dans les réalités et les préoccupations insulaires à l'époque révolutionnaire2. Qu‟en est-il en 1968 quand j‟arrive à la Réunion ? Des réactions contrastées aux questions que je pose me font penser, aujourd‟hui encore, que je peux m‟inspirer des propos des deux historiens : prégnance de l'esclavage et de sa postérité, même sous forme fantomatique, présence des “enfants” de l‟institution longtemps après l‟Abolition de 1848. En 1968, j‟avoue naïvement aux premières personnes que je rencontre mon désir de travailler sur l‟esclavage et je sollicite des informations.

  • Breton Patronyms and the British Heroic Age
    Breton Patronyms and the British Heroic Age Gary D. German Centre de Recherche Bretonne et Celtique Introduction Of the three Brythonic-speaking nations, Brittany, Cornwall and Wales, it is the Bretons who have preserved the largest number of Celtic family names, many of which have their origins during the colonization of Armorica, a period which lasted roughly from the fourth to the eighth centuries. The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of the Breton naming system and to identify the ways in which it is tied to the earliest Welsh poetic traditions. The first point I would like to make is that there are two naming traditions in Brittany today, not just one. The first was codified in writing during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and it is this system that has given us the official hereditary family names as they are recorded in the town halls and telephone directories of Brittany. Although these names have been subjected to marked French orthographic practices, they reflect, in a fossilized form, the Breton oral tradition as it existed when the names were first set in writing over 400 years ago. For this reason, these names often contain lexical items that are no longer understood in the modern spoken language. We shall return to this point below. The second naming system stems directly from the oral tradition as it has come down to us today. Unlike the permanent hereditary names, it is characterized by its ephemeral, personal and extremely flexible nature. Such names disappear with the death of those who bear them.

  • 'God's Friend, the Whole World's Enemy'
    This article from Netherlands Journal of Legal Philosophy is published by Eleven international publishing and made available to anonieme bezoeker ‘God’s Friend, the Whole World’s Enemy’ Reconsidering the role of piracy in the development of universal jurisdiction. Louis Sicking ‘And so if justice is left out, what are kingdoms except great robber bands? For what are robber bands except little kingdoms? The band also is a group of men gov- erned by the orders of a leader, bound by a social compact, and its booty is divided according to a law agreed upon. (…) Alexander the Great (…) [asked] a certain pirate whom he had captured (…) what he was thinking of, that he should molest the sea, he said with defiant independ- ence: “The same as you when you molest the world! Since I do this with a little ship I am called a pirate. You do it with a great fleet and are called an emperor.”’ Augustine, The City of God.1 1 Introduction Piracy, including the ways in which it was viewed over time, is predominantly considered the way David Luban does in his article with the telling title ‘The Enemy of All Humanity.’2 This common approach takes Cicero’s concept ‘enemy of all’ (communis hostis omnium) as a point of departure and ends with the special place piracy holds today within the field of international law because of the uni- versal jurisdiction that applies. In between legal scholars are mentioned who used or adapted Cicero’s expression, including the medieval jurist Bartolus Saxoferrato (1314-1357) and the early modern jurist Alberico Gentili (1552-1608) who con- nected piracy with the law of nations.

P. STATHAM, R.N. AUTHOR OF "THE STORY OF THE 'BRITANNIA,'" AND JOINT AUTHOR OF "THE HOUSE OF HOWARD" WITH EIGHT ILLUSTRATIONS New York JAMES POTT & COMPANY 1910 PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN OX PREFACE A few words of explanation are necessary as to the pretension and scope of this volume. It does not pretend to be a history of privateering ; the subject is an immense one, teeming with technicalities, legal and nautical ; interesting, indeed, to the student of history, and never comprehensively treated hitherto, as far as the present author is aware, in any single work.
